After determining the list of audition actors for the stupid thief, the next step is to find a suitable candidate for the two stupid thief opponents.
Fang Yihua listened to Fang Yan’s opinions and went beyond internal recommendations to conduct a small-scale audition with the help of TVB.
The news spread like wildfire. The artists signed by Shaw Brothers and TVB were all proactive in signing up their children for the competition, but Dialect set a casting standard for Wang Jing and Du Qifeng. The boy who plays the most important role must be cute and clever.
There are also strict age requirements, that is, they cannot be older than 6 years old. If they are too young, they will not be able to act. If they are too old, they will be naughty and troublesome.
Gong Zhen was obviously very interested in the casting of the little boy and participated in the work voluntarily, but left the design and decoration of the house behind.
Fang Yan let it go and took the time to go to Jiahe while Shaw Brothers were preparing and organizing "Baby Wisdom Stars".
When Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang received the script of "Police Story", they immediately called Cheng Long, who had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Okay! Great!"
Cheng Long grinned with excitement on his face and wanted to start filming immediately, right away, now.
“Aaron, you look anxious.”
He Guanchang said with a smile: "Why don't you thank Fang Sheng for the good script tailor-made for you."
Seeing Cheng Long eagerly thank Fang Yan, Zou Wenhuai laughed, and then talked about "Police Story" 》The specific shooting details.
For example, in the choice of the heroine, if Cheng Long's action scenes were not too dangerous, Fang Yan would definitely recommend Gong Xie.
However, considering the danger factor and difficulty of filming "Police Story", Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian became the final choices for the heroines.
After talking about the business, Zou Wenhuai led He Guanshang and Cheng Long to personally deliver Fang Yan to the door of the building:
"Fang Sheng, I heard that there was a lot of commotion at Shaw Brothers recently. It seems that a children's audition contest was held."
"Boss Zou is really well-informed. Yes, there is indeed such a thing. "It's a matter of time."
"I don't know if this is for Fang. Did Fang Sheng make arrangements for Shaw Brothers’ movie?”
“Yes, this kid will be one of the leading actors in the movie.”
“I didn’t know that Fang Sheng had made arrangements for Shaw Brothers. What kind of movie is it? Can you tell me a little bit about it?”
Zou Wenhuai asked politely.
"Comedy."
Fang Yan doesn't hide anything. After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. Jiahe will definitely get the news if he asks around.
Zou Wenhuai was greatly surprised, and he and He Guanchang looked at each other, "I didn't expect that Fang Sheng actually prepared a comedy for Shaw Brothers!"
Fang Yan smiled, "I didn't know Zou Boss, Boss He, what do you think? ”
Ho Guan-chang said: "We guessed it would be a horror film, a mystery film, or a police and gangster film, but we really didn't expect it to be a comedy."
"Analysis of specific issues, the situations of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are completely different , and the prescriptions given by nature are different.”
The dialect is spoken as he walks.
Zou Wenhuai still wanted to get out more information by whispering, but seeing that he was strict in speaking, he gave up the idea of continuing to test. He watched the car he was sitting in slowly disappearing from his sight, and heard in his ears Ho Guan-chang's dubious voice:
"I can't understand Fang Sheng more and more. Does he think that just one comedy can save Shaw Brothers?"
"This is not necessarily true. If it can reach the level of "The Best Partner" and "Summer Lucky Star", Shaw Brothers may still have a glimmer of hope."
"Do you think Fang Sheng can do it?"
"It's useless to guess whether it can be done or not. , we have to speak with facts."
Zou Wenhuai said quietly: "It's almost July, let's learn from the real story of "Once Upon a Time"."
………………
The car came out of Jiahe and drove directly to Shao's.
Fang Yan could hear from Gong Cie from time to time that Wang Jing was upset about the casting of children.
It’s just that I don’t have much idea about the choice of boy. The only thing I can think of is “San Mao” from “San Mao Joins the Army”. But unfortunately, he can’t speak Cantonese, so naturally he can’t. It’s a Hong Kong film, so Wang Jing should let Wang Jing have a headache on his own.
As soon as I arrived at the audition, a handsome boy ran up to me. He had a pair of big eyes under his thick eyebrows. His black eyes were rolling around, his nose was turned up and The little red mouth and the round face are full of boundless naughtiness. This little guy's face does look familiar, but he's just too young, so I couldn't tell who he looked like for a while.
Fang Yan squatted down, touched his little head, and asked pleasantly: "Little friend, where are your daddy and mommy?"
The child shook his head and said angrily: "Why should I tell you?"
"Oh, you are so arrogant."
Fang Yan was happy, "If it were your father If Mommy is not here, I will let the big bad wolf take over. You ate it."
"You lied. Mommy said there are only big perverts outside, not big bad wolves, only in the zoo."
The child was not fooled, "You are the big one. Pervert? ”
Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Gong Xie burst into laughter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Wang Jing, who followed closely behind, was startled and hurriedly apologized for the boy: "Fang Sheng, a child is ignorant and talking nonsense..."
"It's okay, Tong Yanwu Taboo."
Fang Yan waved his hand and saw the little boy running up behind Gong Cie, showing his head and pointing at him. Sticking out his tongue: "This kid looks pretty good, he looks a bit like a protagonist." Then he asked curiously: "Where did you find such a kid?"
Wang Jing turned the kid over The boy hugged him and said proudly: "Fang Sheng, I thought you would ask him if he was my son."
"It doesn't look like it." Fang Yan joked.
“Hat, hat!”
The little boy was restless in Wang Jing’s arms and kept grabbing at his pockets.
"Okay, put on your hat!"
Gong Qian took out a green hat from his pocket like a magic trick and put it on the little guy's head.
This color is unlucky...
Fang Yan showed a playful smile, "Is this kid recommended internally or selected by audition?"
Wang Jing told the truth, this kid He is the son of popular celebrities in Hong Kong, Tse Hsien and Di Bo La. Three minutes after his birth, all entertainment media in Hong Kong published similar titles such as "Movie star Tse Hsien gives birth to a baby boy", making him the youngest person to appear on the cover of a magazine. records.
And at the age of 4, he began to appear on the covers of magazines in the Xiangjiang area and participated in some TV programs.
“Oh, it turns out to be the second generation of Xiaoxing.”
Fang Yan always felt that the names of Xie Xian and Di Bola were quite familiar.
“I don’t want you to hug me, I want sister Gong Qian to hug me!”
The little boy struggled desperately in Wang Jing’s arms, opening his hands towards Gong Qian.
“Lemon, don’t be so angry!”
At this moment, Dibora hurried over and took the child into her arms with a slight apology.
Fang Yan was speechless, "Xie Mengmeng, that name is quite unique."
Gong Cong rolled his eyes, "That's his nickname, his real name is Nicholas Tse."
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows He looked at the child in Di Bola's arms with disbelief, "His name is Xie Tingfeng?"
"You forgot what I taught you when I went out." Di Bola muttered and patted He touched his son's back.
“Teacher Fang, Teacher Fang!”
Xie Tingfeng shouted coyly.
Watching him hiding in Di Bora's arms and making faces at him, Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh at the coincidence of fate.
Looking at the little green hat he is wearing, there is an indescribable feeling. How about changing to a chef hat? (End of this chapter)
